Articles about Teaching Hindi to children

The need for modern teaching-learning approaches for teaching Hindi to young non-native learners has long been felt by many schools in South and North-East India as well as among the Indian diaspora. Despite this need felt on the ground ‘Teaching Hindi as a New Language to Children’ has not been a particularly vibrant area of research or publication. In this section we bring together the various articles that Dr. Chandrika Mathur has written in this field.  We would welcome suggestions for linking other articles that exist on the net or otherwise on this broad theme. Our hope is that this section will become the seedbed for future research and publication in the as yet nascent field of ‘Teaching Hindi as a New Language to Children’.
